They may not be feeling it severely yet but they will. Every other regional is, and Skywest is not immune to it. Unless SAPA keeps giving them a life raft.
We are hiring at bare minimums. Many times new hires need to log their sim time just to qualify.
If the 1500 rule isn't changed and if we wouldn't give them things like soft landing 2.0 and part time pilots, Skywest would soon be noticing it in the hiring department.
I guess the only thing I like about the new pay package is that it is so bad that it might cause people not to come here.
